Well, goodbye tubs and clothes lines, goodbye pots and pans
Im a gonna take a greyhound bus, as further as I can
I aint a gonna wash no windows and I aint a gonna scrub no floors
And when you realize Im gone, Im a gonna hear you roar
And youll say hey Loretta, I love you more than my Irish Setter
Hey Loretta, dont leave me alone
Hey Loretta, I swear Im a gonna treat you better
Buy you brand new overalls if youll only come back home
I work my fingers to the bone and we dont hardly speak
And all I ever get is just a little kiss about once a week
So you can feed the chickens and you can milk the cow
This a womans liberation, honey is a gonna start right now
And youll say hey Loretta, I love you more than my Irish Setter
Hey Loretta, dont leave me alone Hey Loretta
I swear Im a gonna treat you better
Buy you brand new overalls if youll only come back home
Ill dress up like a movie star and pretty up my hair
And no one here is a gonna know what Ill be doing there
Ill be swinging from a chandelier and bouncin off the walls
Instead of lovin just one man Im a gonna love em all
And youll say hey Loretta, I love you more than my Irish Setter
Hey Loretta, dont leave me alone
Hey Loretta, I swear Im a gonna treat you better
Buy you brand new overalls if youll only come back home
